Topic: Grid With Synchro?

Hi again, I'm obviously overlooking something really basic, but when using the 0 to 1 module, it sends a 1 when it's true, but also sends a 0 straight after (rather than doing nothing) - simple patch uploaded here . As a result the Quantize Data module is only for a millisecond before being switched...

Thanks - I must sound a bit silly asking such questions - but am very much used to writing out code by hand rather than joining modules :rolleyes:

I have the quantize working fine now, but the problem I'm facing and one that I've encountered in a lot of the patches I've tried to put together is modules like A = B output either 0 / 1 i.e false or true, meaning it ALWAYS outputs something. Is there a module that will will only output 1 (or a val...

I have a very basic controller for a grid which allows me to change grid lines from a USB game mat, but I need it to be synchronised and wait until the end of the bar or x number of bars the same way the synchro input does in the samplers. I had a play around with Master Synchro but with no luck :-(...

btw, you don't need bus in this case , if you add a Midi out module in your patch, this will be linked automatically to the second patch in your rack
That's good to know as it didn't link up like a normal piano-roll and this was my solution :) I will revise my copy to use this without the Bus.

I made a basic Video Pitch patch and uploaded it here . I hadn't seen any other examples of this so hopefully it helps someone who's wanting to try it out. All you need is a webcam and then place a Midi instrument in the same rack -> use "get midi bus" as your MIDI source in. Works best with instrum...

Just tried that and if I press play on the piano roll it starts the loop from the beginning but will not wait for a bar or beat (as selected in the Combo box) before it starts to play. I haven't tried it with record though - my main need is for play as the midi will already be recorded. Do I need wr...

I know with audio you can use the synchro so it only begins to play / record at the interval you specify i.e you can set it to bar and click record and it won't do anything until the next bar. I can't seem to find anything for midi though - none of the pins on the piano roll seem to have this (quant...

How can I do something like:

* mute Rack 1,2,3

* un-mute Rack 4,5

via a patch i.e I want to create a patch with a number of switches which can each send a message to mute / un-mute certain racks.

By mute I mean toggle on / off the rack same as if you clicked the little dot on the right-hand side.

Hmm, doesn't answer the question - does chaining the FX modify the previous input as opposed to the raw sample (complex patch picture) as opposed to operating simultaneously on the raw sample (individual patches picture) :P

I haven't explored any Matrix functions (?) yet - just trying to write my own patches and logic before doing some Fast-script experiments - I learn best from doing it the hard way and then making it modular (OOP) once I know how it all works ;)

It's a bit hard to tell because the patches I'm designing are meant to "mangle" the sounds, but am I right in thinking that: * if you add lots of individual patches the Input goes through each patch simultaneously and the output is the result of how each patch changes the sound i.e the Output is the...

I love this performance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvKY2dQkO8o - a great example of using Usine without being too abstract.

Was it hard to make it listen to the inputs from the USB game mats?

Your modules should sync to master automatically. I've personally never needed to use a synchro module, just selecting the synchro input with a combo is has always been enough.
